yes but he needs to achieve a reliable connection between himself and the SSLServer (at least until key negotiation has completed) broken pipe(s) are a bear to debug but you have a few tools available to you:
netstat SSLServerIP -- if you see ANY intervening nodes hanging more than 4 sec drop from arp cache generally by arp -d ServerIP assuming your ServerIP is is 157.55.85.212 and the physical address of the network you want to connect to is 00-aa-00-62-c6-09 (check with net-admin for the physical-address or eth-addr to use) > arp -s 157.55.85.212 00-aa-00-62-c6-09 .... Adds a static entry. > arp -a .... Displays the arp table. route > print will display the routes between you and the SSLServer if you dont see > a route referencing the server you may want to add in your own route with route add DESTINATION MASK Mask METRIC NoOfHops Interface InterfaceNumbercheck with net-admin DESTINATION is generally the dotted.quad.of.SSLServercheck with net-admin generally Mask =255.255.255.0 will docheck with net admin about which Interface to use..avoid 127.0.0.1 (unless testing locally)check with net admin on NoOfHops param ..generally the lower the better use curl (command line url) to check the validity of the certificate, keys and passwordscurl -1 --cacert [file] --key PrivateKey.jks --pass PrivateKeyPass --key-type PEM --pubkey PublicKey.jks-1 says use TLSv1check the type of key most keys start out as PEM PEM key ends with .PEM extension ...DER key with .DER... ENG key ends with .ENGhttp://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html once you've been able to achieve a Key Exchange you will have a valid SSL Connection..remember binaries have lower CPU so test with a reliable binary first then start debugging your code (i assume you added your CA cert into your local truststore) enough pollution?
